Balancing systems Dalmec Industrial - solutions for loads handling - 50 years of experience in Positioning Technology

Why DALMEC

Ergonomic operation
Dalmec Manipulators are equipments for the manual handling of loads and, therefore, suited to reduce the risks of injures to the back.

Increased productivity
Dalmec’s emphasis on constant technological innovation ensures a dynamically active workforce.
Dalmec Manipulators enable the operator to move any product effortlessly, in a rapid manner, while at the same time in utmost safety, thereby maximising human resources and increasing productivity in the workplace.

Safety first and foremost
When moving loads of up to 900 Kg, safety must be paramount.
The EC mark positioned on every Manipulator guarantees and certifies the conformity to the safety requirements of the European standards:
- 98/37 “Directive on Machine”
- European standards on safety

Endless possibilities
Every Manipulator is the working combination of different engineering solutions, uniquely tailored to suit the particular handling requirements of each individual industrial sector.

Manual handling of loads
Legislative decree No. 626/1994 - Title V
- NIOSH method for the Lifting Index in the Manual material handling
- Snook and Ciriello method for the activities such as pushing, pulling and transport loads on floor surfaces.
These rules are applied to the activities involving the manual handling of loads with risks to the operators of injuries to the back.
The workplace must be fitted with proper means to reduce the risks deriving from the manual handling of loads.
When it is not possible to avoid the manual handling of the loads (lifting, pushing, drawing, transport), the employer must provide the worker with suitable means to reduce the risks deriving from these operations.
Limit values for the lifting of loads:
• Kg 30 Adult males
• Kg 20 Adult females
• Kg 20 Teenage males
• Kg 15 Teenage females

There are coefficients of reduction of the limit values, which consider:
- height of the hands from the ground at the beginning of lifting
- vertical distance of the load from the beginning to the end of the lifting cycle
- distance between the load and the body during lifting
- rotation of the bust for angular displacement of the load
- possibility of taking the load.

The installation of mechanical arms also for weights lower than 30 kg, enables the operator to:
• work quicker
• notably reduce physical fatigue
• eliminate the risk for the back
• non-skilled personnel to carry out manual handling
• reduce the risk of injuries.
